New Bulbs
The 760W light fixture I am getting has some cheap knock off Chinese lights and I want to replace these MH with either Hamilton or Ushio. Again, my LFS is trying to wring my wallet dry so I am looking for a good online vendor. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, are Current USA CF lights oK?? Thanks, BT Current Aquarium(s) Description: 30G Reef Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 8 Months

Re: New Bulbs
I use current usa and they seem good, never had any issues. I bought some replacement bulbs from MarineDepot.com so you could check them out. Nice thing about there is you can see what others have said about that product, it's very nice.

Re: New Bulbs
Reef Geek sells many different MH bulbs from different manufacturers.
http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/Metal_Halide/Bulbs/ The Current PC bulbs are fine.

Re: New Bulbs
I get my bulbs from marinedepot.com, I've done thousands in business with them and they always seem to do right by me, not to mention they usually have pretty good prices. Both Ushio and Hamilton are good bulbs, I use Ushio and have for the last few years.
